On 25th August 2019, Ben Stokes' astonishing 135 not out gave England one of their greatest ever victories to keep the Ashes series against Australia alive.

The home side still needed 73 when Stokes was joined by last man Jack Leach when the heroic due chased down a record 359.

He blazed off-spinner Nathan Lyon for three sixes and followed that by boshing Josh Hazlewood for 4, 6 and 6 in consecutive balls, on the way to passing 100.

With 17 needed for the win, Stokes was dropped by a despairing Marcus Harris. From the next over, with only 2 needed, Leach should have been run out, only for Lyon to fumble the ball and, from the very next delivery, Stokes could have been lbw, but Australia had no reviews remaining. 

In the next over, Leach scrambled a single off Pat Cummins and, with one to win, Stokes hammered through the covers and sank to his knees in exhausted, delirious celebration.
